After Fifty Years.

Fifty years last Wednesday Oliver Nutter
and Ann Bracket of North Berwick, who
had fallen in love with each other, got mar
ried. Shortly after, they moved to AL
fred and made themselves one of the pleas
ATTEST homes in that picturesque old town.
Wednesday they had the pleasure to enter
tain at bountiful table their daughter, Mrs.
Samuel f. Day. of Gloucester, Mass; Mr..
Joseph b. Nutter, of the Portland PRESS !:
Mr.. James j. Nutter, of Mendon, Mass. !;
and Mr.. Oliver g. Nutter and John T, Nut
ter, of Alfred. OF the twenty-five grand
children twenty were present, as was also
Mrs. Olive Hammond, sister Of Mrs. Nutter.
The occasion was very ENJOYABLE. the old
people delghting in the wealth of grand
children that clustered about their knees.
and the little ones proudly presenting their
tokens of regard in the way of little gifts
that meant more to their grandparents than
all the riches of the Indies. Presents were
also made by Mrs. Hammond and by a
nephew. Mr.. George G. Frost. of Boston.
Mr.. Nutter's face was wreathed IN smiles
but his strong frame quivered and tear
stood in his eye as the young folks gathered
about him. Mrs. Nutter's handsome face
handsomer now if possible than in the days
of her youth-lighted up as her own dear
ones caressed her. To the establishment OF
all, Mr.. Nutter made speech after dinner
was eaten,-something he, though prominent
in town affairs, has seldom been known to
do. And sound. sensible speech it was, by
which the flock he has so carefully reared
may well profit.
After dinner the old boys-Ihe sons-and
the young boys-the grandsons-engaged in
an old-time game of ball, such as used to be
played in the streets Of Alfred on Fast Day
years ago. We rather suspect the young
sters won; for the elders decline to give the
score.
1t is remarkable fact that of the twenty
two grandchildren born to the sons and
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Nutter all are
living.

COLLISION AT SEA.
Two schooners Badly Damaged and
One Possibly Sunk.

The schooner K0lon, Captain Libby, of
Machias, of las tone burden and a crew of
five, all told, was lowed to Central wharf
yesterday by the tug Warren, Captain Bo-
gan, having been run into at sea by an I'M
known schooner ami badly damaged. The
vessel left Portsmouth Wednesday morning
at about a. m, bound for Machias She
carried no cargo and was without ballast
When off Seguin, standing to the eastward
she encountered another schooner running
before the wind to the westward. There was
light sea and the Kolon was making about
SIX knots per hour and the stranger about
eight. One of the crew Of the vessel said to
PRESS reporter: I'VE saw that the stran-
ger was coming down upon us and we did all
in our power to avoid collision but all in
vain. The unknown vessel was deep in the
water and there was no man on the lookout
When close upon us one Of our men shouted,
What on earth are you doingv Whereupon
man appeared on deck and answered, 1T is
too late now and the next moment the two
vessels came together with tremendous
crash. As you can see for yourself we lost
everything forward, not jib remained, the
wind lass was carried away, and the vessel
forward was badly shattered by the blow
/ think that the other schooner got the worst
of it, however; everything forward was car
ried away and she probably filled with
water. The last we saw of her she was
lying in the wind off Seguin. 1t was about
8 o'clock when the vessels collided. We
proceeded under mainsail and foresail until
2 O'Clock Thursday morning when we an
chored off Portland light and remained until
the tugboat came alongside and towed us to
the city. The schooner was damaged to such
an extent that she will be unable to sail to
Machias before extensive, repairs are made.
We will probably remain here during the
winter although we intended to make one
more voyage to New York for coal. 1t was
fortunate for us that we didn't go to the bot
tom of the sea, and if the weather had
been rough we probably would have Jared
much worse than we did. As for the other
vessel, iflnot ON the bottom of the ocean, she
must have drifted great distance to sea by
this time"

The Harbor.

On account Of the rongh weather quite a
number of the vessel of the fishing fleet
which sailed Tuesday returned yesterday.
There was very little fish landed during the
day and the arrivals of merchantmen were
few. Many Of the vessels were covered
with ice to an extent that reminded one of
the scenes at the wharves after a storm in
midwinter. The schooner Eta Elliot, Cap
tain Richards and a crew of nine, landed
about 5000 pounds Of cod and haddock. her
first cargo. The schooner was built during
the summer and fall and she returned from
her first fishing voyage yesterday. The
many friends of Captain Richards wish him
success with his new vessel.

An unfortunate parentage and ancestry, q

mrs. Susan Merrill.

The death of Mrs. Susan Merrill occurred
early Sunday morning. Nov. 9th, at Fall
mouth. Making Christian confession at the
age of twenty, she made it for time as well
as for eternity. This led her. though 66
years Of age, to be always interested in
the Christian welfare Of the young and to
be constant in prayer for all Christian
thought and activity. With that bright, yet
restiul fortitude experienced only by the
true disciple Of Christ, she went forward in
tire days OF her sickness with the one desire
to grow in the grace and knowledge of the
Redeemer. For all to meet her was to gain
encouragement to a nobler Christian life.
